About me

I am a UK and Iceland based filmmaker with a passion for documentaries, and visual stories. 


I have just completed my first feature documentary EYRÍKI (Island Nation) as director/camera/editor which I shot on a remote island in the Greenland sea. It is off to festivals this year!


I started HLC in 2022 to serve as a hub for my filmmaking friends and I to make documentaries and drama. 


Community and collaboration is important to me. I love to help people get their visions on screen. I love Cinema as a viewer, and as a maker.


From developing a minority co-pro to shooting the film itself, I set up HLC to make impactful films and amplify important voices.


With a background in visual effects,  I learned the art of problem solving.


I directed VFX commercials and music videos for major brands and artists before moving into long form in 2010.


I have worked as a broadcast off-line editor, script writer and producer, and now concentrate on developing, producing and directing.


I work in Iceland regularly, and know and love that country well!

og ég tala smá islenska lika!

И я немного говорю по-русски))

et aussi parle et travail en Français fonctionnel.
